LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2020 National Academic Showcase
John Overby is a 2021 SS/RHP with a 5-9 160 lb. frame from New Orleans, LA who attends Metairie Park Country Day Scho. Developing medium build with plenty of room to grow and fill out as he continues to develop. Primary infielder, has active footwork and looks to make good first step reads off the bat. Stays in front of the ball well, arm strength across the diamond will develop nicely alongside his build. On the mound, has a longer arm action from a three-quarters slot. Short stride down the mound, fastball up to 79 mph with some natural arm side run. Low 11-to-5 shape on his slider that possesses good depth to the plate. Also mixes in a 69 mph straight change. At the plate, uses an upright and even stance with a low leg kick trigger. Heavy bat wag, generates some whip through the zone with a hand coil back into his load. Flat barrel path, finds good extension, ability to drive the ball to his pull side. Excellent student in the classroom as well.
